Joined Messrs. Beckman and a few other local shooters at KSDL. With the Barrett/Jackson Auction happening less than a mile away, there tends to be an increase in private aircraft and other interesting visitors to the humble strip of asphalt in Scottsdale

Still mining the Hawaii folders. The first is a view from the shoulder of the Kohala Mountains overlooking the Pacific. The others are from that same 1986 lava flow.

Sir Steve - The small fern growing out of the "root-like" structure of the lava flow is one of my favorite images from your overwhelming portfolio. Your superior image making causes me to emulate Ezra as recorded in Chapter 9, Verse 3 of the Bible. "And when I heard [saw] this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle, and pluckt off the hair of my head, and of my beard, and sat down astonied"

I'd like to fly a Wildcat, bet it's a handful on the ground. I guess the gear isn't a lot narrower than the Six, but I'll bet it'd keep you on your toes. My Dad flew Hellcats and the transition was out of SNJ's, but the Hellcat is a bigger aircraft. It'd be cool to have a folding wing warbird, intentionally folding that is.
